[0012] (Findings that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time the inventors came up with the idea for the present disclosure, there was technology in a heat exchange ventilation device that adjusts the indoor temperature by using outside air by opening and closing a bypass damper to switch between a total heat exchange ventilation passage and a normal ventilation passage, in which the opening degree of the bypass damper was controlled based on signals from an outside air temperature sensor provided at the outdoor air intake and an indoor temperature sensor provided at the indoor exhaust port or an intake air temperature sensor provided at the indoor air intake.
[0013] However, conventional technology does not disclose how to accurately calculate the airflow temperature of an indoor air supply port, which affects the temperature of the indoor space, without using a temperature sensor.From the perspective of appropriately controlling the indoor temperature while reducing equipment costs and achieving rationalization, the inventors discovered a problem in which it was desirable to realize a configuration that could accurately calculate the airflow temperature of an indoor air supply port without using a temperature sensor at the indoor air supply port, and in order to solve this problem, they came up with the subject matter of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides a heat exchange ventilation device that can accurately calculate the temperature of air flowing through an indoor air intake port and perform ventilation control without installing a temperature sensor in the indoor air intake port of the housing, and an air conditioning system equipped with a heat exchange ventilation device.
[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, unnecessary detailed description may be omitted. For example, detailed description of well-known matters or redundant description of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessary redundancy in the following description and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. The accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.
[0015] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. [1-1. Configuration of heat exchange ventilation equipment] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a heat exchange ventilator 1 according to the first embodiment. The heat exchange ventilation device 1 performs total heat exchange ventilation between a target space within a building and a space outside the building. The target space is, for example, a room provided inside a building such as a residence. Hereinafter, "indoor" and "outdoor" refer to the inside of the target space that is the target of ventilation by the heat exchange ventilation device 1 and the space outside the building where the room is located, respectively.
[0016] The heat exchange ventilator 1 includes a total heat exchanger 3 in a housing 2. The housing 2 is provided with an indoor exhaust port 21 for introducing indoor air into the housing 2 as return air (RA), and an outdoor exhaust port 22 for discharging the return air (RA) introduced into the housing 2 to the outside of the building as outdoor exhaust air (EA). The housing 2 is also provided with an outdoor air intake port 24 for introducing outdoor outside air (OA) into the housing 2, and an indoor air supply port 23 for supplying the outdoor air OA introduced into the housing 2 into the room as supply air (SA).
[0017] For example, the indoor exhaust vent 21 and the indoor air inlet 23 are each connected by an appropriate duct to an opening provided in the ceiling or the like of the target space, and the outdoor exhaust vent 22 and the outdoor air inlet 24 are each connected by an appropriate duct to an opening provided in the outer wall of the building.
[0018] The installation space 9 in which the housing 2 is installed is, for example, the space above the ceiling of a building in which the target space is located.
[0019] Inside the housing 2, a partition wall 4 that divides the internal space of the housing 2 forms an exhaust air duct 5 connecting the indoor exhaust port 21 and the outdoor exhaust port 22, and an intake air duct 6 connecting the outdoor intake port 24 and the indoor intake port 23.
[0020] An exhaust fan 71 is provided near the outdoor exhaust port 22 inside the housing 2, and an intake fan 72 is disposed near the indoor intake port 23. The exhaust fan 71 and the intake fan 72 generate airflows in the exhaust airflow duct 5 and the intake airflow duct 6, respectively.
[0021] The total heat exchanger 3 is disposed in a range that crosses the entire exhaust air duct 5, straddles the partition wall 4, and crosses a part of the supply air duct 6. As a result, the supply air duct 6 includes a supply air heat exchange air duct 61 through which the airflow passes through the total heat exchanger 3, and a supply air bypass air duct 62 through which the airflow does not pass through the total heat exchanger 3.
[0022] An intake air bypass damper 80 is provided in the intake air duct 6. The intake air bypass damper 80 controls the intake air bypass flow rate F SB Adjust.
[0023] The supply air bypass damper 80 is driven by an actuator 81 and is opened and closed within a range from a fully closed position FC, where the supply air bypass air passage 62 is fully closed, to a fully open position FO, where the supply air bypass air passage 62 is fully open. The actuator 81 is, for example, a motor.
[0024] The heat exchange ventilation device 1 includes a control device 100 inside a housing 2. The control device 100 controls the temperature of the supply air (SA) supplied from the indoor supply air port 23 toward the target space to be equal to or lower than a predetermined target temperature T set The operation of each part of the heat exchange ventilation device 1 is controlled so as to satisfy the above.
[0025] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the control device 100. As shown in FIG. The control device 100 is a computer including a processor 101 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) and a memory 102. The control device 100 may include a communication device for communicating with other devices such as a remote control (not shown) arranged in the target space, according to conventional technology.
[0026] The memory 102 is a memory that stores programs and data. The memory 102 stores a program 103. The memory 102 has a non-volatile storage area. The memory 102 also has a volatile storage area and constitutes a work area for the processor 101. The memory 102 is constituted by, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory).
[0027] The processor 101 includes an operation control section 104 and a temperature calculation section 105 as functional elements or functional units.
[0028] These functional elements of the processor 101 are realized, for example, by the processor 101 of the control device 100, which is a computer, reading and executing a program 103 stored in a memory 102. The program 103 can be stored in any computer-readable storage medium. Alternatively, all or part of the functional elements of the processor 101 can be configured by hardware each including one or more electronic circuit components.
[0029] The operation control unit 104 controls the operations of the total heat exchanger 3, the exhaust fan 71, the intake fan 72, and the intake bypass damper 80. RA Target temperature T set The settings can be given according to the prior art, for example by the above-mentioned remote control.
[0030] When the operation control unit 104 receives the operation start instruction, it causes the total heat exchanger 3 to start operating. In addition, the operation control unit 104 turns on the exhaust fan 71 and the intake fan 72, and causes each fan to operate at a predetermined rotation speed. For example, the operation control unit 104 controls the outdoor air temperature T OA and the indoor temperature T RA and target temperature T set Based on this, the direction of heat flow in the heat exchange in the total heat exchanger 3 is set from the exhaust air duct 5 to the intake air duct 6 or from the intake air duct 6 to the exhaust air duct 5. Outside temperature T OA and indoor temperature T RA can be obtained, for example, from a temperature sensor (not shown) installed outside the building in which the target space is located and a temperature sensor (not shown) installed inside the target space. The same applies to other embodiments 2 to 4 described later.
[0031] In addition, the operation control unit 104 controls the actuator 81 to adjust the intake air damper opening degree O, which is the opening degree of the intake air bypass damper 80. PS Controls the intake damper opening. PS may be, for example, the rotation angle from the fully closed position FC of the supply air bypass damper 80 that opens from the fully closed position FC toward the fully open position FO.
[0032] The operation control unit 104 may, for example, set a target temperature T set and the temperature outside the building, T OA and the indoor temperature T RA and the indoor supply air temperature T (described later) calculated by the temperature calculation unit 105. SA Based on this, the intake air damper opening degree O PS The operation control unit 104 controls the current air intake damper opening degree O PS The information is notified to the temperature calculation unit 105 at predetermined time intervals, for example.
[0033] The temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the indoor temperature T RA and intake damper opening O PS Based on this, the indoor supply air temperature T SA Calculate.
[0034] Specifically, for example, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the intake damper opening degree O PS Based on this, the heat exchange intake air volume F, which is the airflow volume of the intake air heat exchange air passage 61, is SH The intake bypass airflow rate F SB The intake air bypass ratio R is the ratio of SBHere, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the supply air bypass rate R based on the ventilation resistance of the total enthalpy heat exchanger 3 in the supply air heat exchange air passage 61. SB The intake damper opening degree O can be calculated. PS and the supply air bypass rate R SB The relationship between the above can be determined in advance (for example, calculated in advance or measured) and stored in the memory 102 as tabular information.
[0035] The temperature calculation unit 105 also calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the indoor temperature T RA Based on the heat exchange capacity of the total heat exchanger 3, the supply air delivery temperature T ES Calculate. Then, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the supply air bypass rate R SB Based on this, the intake air delivery temperature T ES The temperature change due to the outside air (OA) from the intake bypass air duct 62 that joins the output airflow is corrected to the above, and the corrected intake air delivery temperature T ES Indoor supply air temperature T SA The outside air temperature T OA , supply air bypass rate R SB , and the supply air delivery temperature T ES The indoor supply air temperature T determined for various combinations of values of SA The value of is determined in advance, and the indoor supply air temperature T SA The calculation table may be stored in the memory 102.
[0036] However, as an exception, when the exhaust fan 71 is stopped, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the indoor supply air temperature T SA , the outside air temperature T OA When the exhaust fan 71 is stopped, heat exchange between the exhaust air duct 5 and the intake air duct 6 in the total heat exchanger 3 is not performed effectively, so the outside air (OA) flowing in from the outdoor intake port 24 is calculated as a temperature equal to the outside air temperature T OA This is because the supply air (SA) remains almost the same.
[0037] The temperature calculation unit 105 also calculates the indoor supply air temperature T based on the heat generation amounts of the exhaust fan 71 and the supply fan 72. SA For example, the temperature calculation unit 105 may calculate the supply air delivery temperature T ES When calculating the amount of correction for the above correction, it is possible to take into account the temperature rise of the output airflow of total heat exchanger 3 when it passes through intake air blower 72. Alternatively, temperature calculation unit 105 may determine the amount of correction by taking into account the effect that heat generated by exhaust air blower 71 and / or intake air blower 72 increases the temperature of housing 2 and thereby increases the temperature of the air flowing through exhaust air duct 5 and / or intake air duct 6.
[0038] When the operation control unit 104 performs variable control of the fan rotation speeds of the exhaust fan 71 and the intake fan 72 to change the airflow rates, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the intake air delivery temperature T ES Calculation of the supply air temperature T ES When correcting the intake air delivery temperature T ES is calculated as a smaller value, and the supply air temperature T ES The amount of correction for the above can be increased.
[0039] In this case, the indoor supply air temperature T SA The calculation table can be prepared for each predetermined fan rotation speed of the exhaust fan 71 and the intake fan 72, for example.
[0040] When the operation control unit 104 controls the heat exchange capacity of the total heat exchanger 3 to change in accordance with predetermined conditions, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the intake air delivery temperature T ES can be calculated.
[0041] Furthermore, when a gap occurs in the intake air bypass damper 80 when the intake air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO and / or the fully closed position FC, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the amount of air leakage due to the gap in the intake air bypass damper 80 by multiplying the intake air damper opening O when there is no air leakage by 0. PS Offset opening converted to O Soff may be used to calculate the indoor supply air temperature TSA when the supply air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO and / or the fully closed position FC.
[0042] Specifically, when a gap occurs when the supply air bypass damper 80 is in the fully closed position FC, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the supply air damper opening degree O even if the supply air bypass damper 80 is in the fully closed position FC. PS is the offset opening O Soff The indoor supply air temperature T SA Furthermore, when a gap occurs when the supply air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the supply air damper opening degree O even when the supply air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO. PS However, the offset opening O is greater than the value representing the fully open state. Soff The indoor supply air temperature T SA can be calculated.
[0043] In addition, when the amount of gap generated when the intake air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO is different from the amount of gap generated when the intake air bypass damper 80 is in the fully closed position FC, the offset opening degree O used when the intake air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO is set to 0. Soff and the offset opening O used when the intake air bypass damper 80 is in the fully closed position FC. Soff The value of can be different from the value of
[0044] In addition, since the gap amount of the intake air bypass damper 80 may change over time, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the offset opening O according to the elapsed time from the manufacturing date of the heat exchange ventilation device 1 to the present. Soff Using this, the indoor supply air temperature T SA The offset opening O according to the elapsed time from the manufacturing date can be calculated. SoffThe value of can be calculated in advance from a standard value (for example, a design value or an experimental value) of the gap amount according to the elapsed time and stored in the memory 102.
[0045] [1-2. Operation] Next, the operation of the heat exchange ventilator 1 will be described. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of processing performed by the processor 101, which is a computer of the heat exchange ventilator 1. The processing shown in Fig. 3 starts when the processor 101 receives an instruction to start operation. The instruction to start operation is given, for example, by a remote control (not shown) connected to the control device 100 so as to be able to communicate with it.
[0046] When the process starts, the operation control unit 104 first turns on the exhaust fan 71 and the intake fan 72 to start blowing air (S100), sets the intake bypass damper 80 to a predetermined opening degree (S102), and turns on the total heat exchanger 3 (S104).
[0047] Next, the temperature calculation unit 105 receives the intake air damper opening degree O from the operation control unit 104. PS information and adjust the intake damper opening PS From the intake air bypass rate R SB (S106). The temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the indoor temperature T RA From the above, the intake air discharge temperature T of the airflow discharged from the total heat exchanger 3 in the intake air heat exchange air passage 61 is ES is calculated (S108).
[0048] Next, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the intake air bypass rate R SB and the supply air temperature T ES From the indoor supply air temperature T SA For example, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the supply air bypass rate R SB Based on this, the intake air delivery temperature T ES Correct the supply air temperature T ES Indoor supply air temperature T SA It is calculated as follows.
[0049] The temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the target temperature T set (S112), and the indoor supply air temperature T SA and target temperature T set Temperature difference ΔT s The target temperature T set can be given by the above-mentioned remote control and temporarily stored in the memory 102 by the operation control unit 104, for example.
[0050] Next, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the temperature difference ΔT s is a given threshold T h Then, it is determined whether the temperature difference ΔT s is a given threshold T h If the temperature is less than 100°C (YES in S116), the temperature calculation unit 105 determines whether an operation stop instruction has been received (S118). The operation stop instruction is given by, for example, the remote controller communicably connected to the control device 100.
[0051] If an operation stop instruction has not been received (S118, NO), the temperature calculation unit 105 returns to step S108 and repeats the process. On the other hand, if an operation stop instruction has been received (S118, YES), the temperature calculation unit 105 ends this process.
[0052] On the other hand, in step S116, the temperature difference ΔT s is a given threshold T h If it is equal to or greater than this (S116, NO), the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the temperature difference ΔT s From the target damper opening O T (S120). The operation control unit 104 controls the air supply bypass damper 80 by instructing the actuator 81 so that the air supply damper opening becomes the target damper opening (S122), and the operation control unit 104 returns the process to step S106.
[0053] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, the heat exchange ventilator 1 of the first embodiment has an intake air duct 6 connecting the outdoor intake port 24 and the indoor intake port 23 provided in the housing 2, and an exhaust air duct 5 connecting the indoor exhaust port 21 and the outdoor exhaust port 22. The intake air duct 6 includes an intake air heat exchange air duct 61 and an intake air bypass air duct 62, and an intake air bypass damper 80 provided in the intake air duct 6 controls an intake air bypass airflow rate F SB The housing 2 also contains a total heat exchanger 3 that exchanges heat between the supply air heat exchange air passage 61 and the exhaust air passage 5. The heat exchanging ventilator 1 also includes a control device 100. The temperature calculation unit 105 of the control device 100 calculates the outdoor air temperature T OA and the indoor temperature T RA and the intake air damper opening O, which is the opening of the intake air bypass damper 80. PS Based on this, the indoor supply air temperature T SA Calculate. As a result, in the heat exchange ventilation device 1 including the supply air bypass air passage 62 that does not pass through the total heat exchanger 3, the indoor supply air temperature T SA can be calculated.
[0054] Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the intake air damper opening degree O PS Based on this, the heat exchange intake air volume F, which is the amount of air flowing through the intake air heat exchange air passage 61, is calculated. SH and supply bypass ventilation volume F SB The intake air bypass rate R is the ratio of SB The temperature calculation unit 105 also calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the indoor temperature T RA Based on this, the temperature of the air discharged from the total heat exchanger 3 in the supply air heat exchange air passage 61 is determined as the supply air discharge temperature T ES Then, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the outside air temperature T OA and the supply air bypass rate R SB Based on this, the intake air delivery temperature T ES Correct the indoor supply air temperature T SA Calculate. This reduces the intake damper opening to OPS The supply air bypass ventilation volume F depends on SB Depending on the increase or decrease of ES In contrast, the temperature change of the supply air from the total heat exchanger 3 to the indoor supply air port 23 is corrected, so a more accurate indoor supply air temperature T SA can be calculated.
[0055] Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the intake air damper opening degree O PS Based on the ventilation resistance of the total heat exchanger 3, the intake air bypass rate R SB Calculate. As a result, the intake air bypass rate R is calculated by reflecting the imbalance in ventilation resistance between the intake air heat exchange air duct 61 that passes through the total heat exchanger 3 and the intake air bypass air duct 62 that does not pass through the total heat exchanger 3. SB can be calculated more accurately, so the indoor supply air temperature T SA can be calculated more accurately.
[0056] Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the amount of air leakage due to the gap in the intake air bypass damper 80 when the intake air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO and / or the fully closed position FC, by multiplying the intake air damper opening O when there is no air leakage. PS Offset opening converted to O Soff is used to calculate the indoor supply air temperature T when the supply air bypass damper 80 is in the fully open position FO and / or the fully closed position FC. SA Calculate. As a result, even if there is a gap in the intake air bypass damper 80, the indoor intake air temperature T SA can be calculated more accurately.
[0057] According to the first embodiment, the heat exchange ventilation device 1 includes an exhaust fan 71 provided in the exhaust air duct 5. When the exhaust fan 71 is stopped, the temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the indoor supply air temperature T SA , the outside air temperature T OA It may be calculated as the temperature equal to As a result, the exhaust fan 71 stops, and heat exchange between the exhaust air and the supply air cannot be performed in the total heat exchanger 3, and the indoor supply air temperature T SA is the outside temperature T OA If the value becomes equal to the indoor supply air temperature T SA The outside air temperature T OA can be accurately calculated as the same value as
[0058] According to the first embodiment, the heat exchange ventilation device 1 includes an intake air blower 72 provided in the intake air duct 6 and an exhaust air blower 71 provided in the exhaust air duct 5. The temperature calculation unit 105 calculates the indoor supply air temperature T SA may be calculated. This allows the amount of heat generated by the intake air blower 72 and / or the exhaust air blower 71 to be reflected, and the indoor intake air temperature T SA can be calculated.
[0059] (Embodiment 2) The second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. [2-1. Configuration of heat exchange ventilation equipment] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a heat exchange ventilator 1A according to embodiment 2. In Fig. 4, the same elements as those shown in Fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those shown in Fig. 1, and the above description of Fig. 1 is used.
[0060] The heat exchange ventilation device 1A has a configuration similar to that of the heat exchange ventilation device 1 according to embodiment 1, but a major difference from the heat exchange ventilation device 1 is that the intake air duct 6a connecting the outdoor intake vent 24 and the indoor intake vent 23 does not include an intake bypass air duct 62, and the exhaust air duct 5a connecting the indoor exhaust vent 21 and the outdoor exhaust vent 22 includes an exhaust heat exchange air duct 51a and an exhaust bypass air duct 52a.
[0061] The exhaust airflow duct 5a and the supply airflow duct 6a are formed inside the housing 2a by a partition wall 4a that divides the internal space of the housing 2a, and the total heat exchanger 3 is disposed in an area that crosses the entire supply airflow duct 6a, straddles the partition wall 4a inside the housing 2a, and crosses part of the exhaust airflow duct 5a. As a result, the exhaust airflow duct 5a includes an exhaust heat exchange airflow duct 51a through which the airflow passes through the total heat exchanger 3, and an exhaust bypass airflow duct 52a through which the airflow does not pass through the total heat exchanger 3.
[0062] An exhaust bypass damper 80a is provided in exhaust air passage 5a. Exhaust bypass damper 80a controls exhaust bypass airflow F EB Exhaust bypass damper 80a is opened and closed by actuator 81a within a range from a fully closed position FC, where exhaust bypass air passage 52a is fully closed, to a fully open position FO, where exhaust bypass air passage 52a is fully open.

[0111] (Addendum) The above description of the embodiments discloses the following techniques.
[0112] (Technology 1) A heat exchange ventilation device that performs total heat exchange ventilation between a target space within a building and the outside of the building, comprising: an intake air duct that connects an outdoor intake port and an indoor intake port, and includes an intake air heat exchange duct and an intake air bypass duct; an exhaust air duct that connects an indoor exhaust port and an outdoor exhaust port; a total heat exchanger that exchanges heat between air passing through the intake air heat exchange duct and air passing through the exhaust air duct; an intake air bypass damper provided in the intake air duct that adjusts the intake air bypass airflow rate, which is the amount of air flowing into the intake air bypass duct; and a temperature calculation unit that calculates the indoor supply air temperature, which is the temperature of the air flowing through the indoor intake air port, wherein the temperature calculation unit calculates the indoor supply air temperature based on the outdoor air temperature, which is the temperature outside the building, the indoor temperature, which is the temperature inside the target space, and the intake air damper opening, which is the opening degree of the intake air bypass damper. According to this, in a heat exchange ventilation device including an intake air bypass duct in the intake air duct that does not pass through a total heat exchanger, the indoor supply air temperature can be calculated without installing a temperature sensor at the indoor intake air port.
[0113] (Technology 2) The heat exchange ventilation device described in Technology 1, wherein the temperature calculation unit calculates an intake air bypass rate, which is the ratio between the heat exchange intake air volume, which is the volume of air flowing into the intake air heat exchange air duct, and the intake air bypass air volume, based on the intake air damper opening degree; calculates an intake air discharge temperature, which is the temperature of air discharged from the total heat exchanger in the intake air heat exchange air duct, based on the outside air temperature and the indoor temperature; and calculates the indoor supply air temperature by correcting the intake air discharge temperature, based on the outside air temperature and the intake air bypass rate. This corrects for the temperature change of the supply air from the total heat exchanger to the indoor supply air outlet in accordance with the increase or decrease in the supply air bypass ventilation volume, which depends on the opening degree of the supply air damper, thereby enabling a more accurate calculation of the indoor supply air temperature.
[0114] (Technical Aspect 3) The heat exchange ventilation device according to Technical Aspect 2, wherein the temperature calculation unit calculates the intake air bypass rate based on the intake air damper opening and the ventilation resistance of the total heat exchanger.

[0115] (Technology 4) A heat exchange ventilation device described in any one of Technologies 1 to 3, wherein the temperature calculation unit calculates the indoor supply air temperature when the intake air bypass damper is in the fully open position and / or the fully closed position using an offset opening obtained by converting the amount of air leakage due to the gap in the intake air bypass damper when the intake air bypass damper is in the fully open position and / or the fully closed position into the intake air damper opening when there is no air leakage.
